Way of Escape

June 7, 2026 Service In this powerful and instructive sermon, Pastor Susan Emmons dives deep into the Apostle Paul’s message to the Corinthian church in 1 Corinthians 10:1-13 Looking back at the Israelites' journey through the wilderness, we learn how they drank from the spiritual rock—which was Christ—yet still fell into the snares of idolatry, fornication, and complaining against God These historical events were written as an example and admonition for us today, reminding believers to "take heed lest he fall" While the enemy uses the same common temptations—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—against everyone, the ultimate encouragement is that God is faithful He promises that with every temptation, He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but will also make a "way of escape" so that you can endure it Key takeaways from this message: Lessons from the Wilderness: Understanding why a "mixed multitude" caused Israel to stumble, and the danger of modern-day idolatry—which is anything we bow down to, worship, or place ahead of God in our lives Crucifying the Flesh: How submitting our will to God, presenting our bodies as a living sacrifice, and taking up our cross daily helps us overcome earthly desires and the snares of the enemy The Ultimate Escape: Finding strength through Jesus Christ, who faced the same temptations in the wilderness yet remained without sin Because He overcame the world, we can come boldly to the throne of grace to find mercy and help in our time of need If anything tries to take your attention off of God, remember to get your eyes back on Jesus, our Waymaker, and keep yourself rooted in His word
